SCRIPTED WHIM                    Be adroit. When dealing with
                   more than two characters in a
                   scene, remember that each 
                   character has his or her own
                   beliefs, opinions, and goals.
                   Sometimes these opinions and
                   goals align with one another,
                   unless of course you're writing
                   a good script. Agreement is the
                   bane of conflict, and conflict
                   moves your story along. This
                   exercise will help you juggle
                   multiple perspectives in a
                   balanced scene. 
TRUSTING, LONELY, ENIGMA, and FRIGHTENED are your characters.
Their names are their defining traits.
The four of them wake up in a trashed convenience store with no recollection of an incident.
The doors are locked. The safe is open and full of money.
SCRIPTED WHIM                    Using the rules above as a
                   starting point, craft a five-
                   page scene. Add your own
                   details to the setting and
                   characters, such as age, race,
                   and gender, but keep their
                   personalities as defined above.
                   Pay special attention to what
                   each character wants most based
                   on their personality. Wherever
                   possible use action in the place
                   of dialog. And remember...
                   conflict, conflict, conflict.FADE OUT:THE END
